Mr. Housekeeping

In 2019, Isai ends her relationship with the chauvinistic Honest Raj on their last day of college, and Honest vows to prove that he can win a girl’s heart and build a successful life. Four years pass, and he remains a heartbreak away from success—jobless and struggling to make ends meet. When a chance arises to earn a small sum, he takes a job as a housekeeper at a villa, not realizing it belongs to his former lover.

The arrangement becomes uneasy from the start. Isai tests Honest’s abilities through her maid, Jothi, and although he falls short in the challenge, she hires him as her househelp anyway. He dips into the advance payment to settle a sextortion debt, but keeps his family in the dark, presenting a story of landing a job at an IT company to those who care for him at home. His unintentional missteps at Isai’s official meeting lead to embarrassment, and Isai publicly humiliates him in front of old college friends by exposing his true occupation. She even slaps him, though the moment is followed by a swift realization that his actions weren’t deliberate, and she later regrets the impulsive punishment.

A family trip to meet his would‑be bride, Priya, becomes another turning point. An autorickshaw runs out of fuel and breaks down near Isai’s villa, and she offers Honest a ride to Priya’s home. He is drawn to Priya, and Isai relaxes her hold on his househelp duties, hoping he can land a better job—yet Honest continues to work for Isai as her assistant while the engagement plan lingers. Over time, Isai grows closer to Honest and learns that he had quietly fed her during her final college semester when her parents were away. Touched by his care, she begins to see him as a close friend, though Honest misreads her warmth as a romantic confession.

As Isai trains Honest and helps him secure a position at her company, their growing closeness starts to irritate Harish, Isai’s love interest. Honest imagines Harish and Isai as mere friends, while Harish cautions Isai to keep a distance, fearing a possessive turn. When Isai invites Honest to her home, he assumes she’s finally ready to accept him, but he discovers she only meant to reinforce boundaries. Heartbroken, Honest tries to throw himself into the ocean, only to be saved by Roman. After this episode, he resolves to win Isai’s heart with renewed determination, but Harish and his friends push back, and a violent clash erupts between the two groups.

At the police station, Isai steps in and asks Honest to back off, declining to file a complaint and explaining she feels pity for him. Honest’s parents worry for their son, and his sister Sangeetha advises him to respect Isai’s boundaries. He begins distancing himself, trying to understand what it means to respect her wishes. Meanwhile, Isai discovers Harish’s hidden live‑in relationship with Deepthi, which unsettles her and makes her question how she had misread Honest’s intentions.

Chokkalingam, Honest’s father, encourages his son to move on, while Isai’s father counsels her to accept the situation as it stands. Honest’s efforts to bring a smile back to his mother Kalyani become a focal point as Isai ends her relationship with Harish and starts to recognize her own feelings for Honest. Yet she decides not to rush things, choosing to wait until the right moment. Eventually, Honest leaves for Singapore, and Isai contemplates revealing her love—but fate intervenes.

Six months later, in Chennai, Honest runs a housekeeping agency with his friends, proving his determination and independence. Isai, now more open to possibilities, decides to take a chance on him and finally confesses her love. The two reunite, choosing to build a future together on the foundations of friendship, mutual respect, and a deeper understanding of one another.
